Trustee Bosslet questioned Tom Cech, the Director of Public Works,
regarding Item A, payment for hauling and disposal of material removed
from the Industrial Ditch Cleaning Project, on the Consent Agenda.
Trustee Bosslet wanted to know if the additional payment was due to an
underestimate of the amount of material to be removed or due to the fact
that more work was performed on the ditches than previously considered.
Mr. Cech said that when the original contract was awarded in June, they
thought the material would be removed sometime in the summer and it was
not removed until mid December; therefore, their original estimate of
1 ,500 cubic yards of material was actually between 2,500 and 3,000 cubic
yards.
Trustee Bosslet and Mr. Cech discussed the illegal debris being dumped
into the ditches and ways of patrolling this area.

It was moved by Trustee Tosto and seconded by Trustee Petri that the Board

Manager's authorization to award a purchase contract to Orr Safety
Equipment Company to provide four (4) Trelleborg Super Safety Extra Fully
Encapsulated Chemical Suits at a cost not to exceed $9,285.00.
Trustee Gallitano questioned whether the 20% increase which the Purchasing
Agent noted in his recommendation was from the manufacturer or the vender
and also if the telephone bid process conducted by the Purchasing Agent
was legal and/or fair to all the venders.
Discussion followed between Trustee Gallitano, the Finance Director,
Deputy Fire Chief Sunagel , and the Village Attorney.
The Village Attorney stated that the bid process was proper but would
require a 2/3 majority vote of the Board for approval .
Trustee Gallitano restated that he did not feel the telephone bid process
was fair and could not draw the conclusion based upon the information
received that each company would pass on the 20% increase.
It was moved by Trustee Gallitano to disallow the expenditure of the funds
for the suits, at this time, and go out for proper bids.
The President declared the motion failed for a lack of a second.

wished to address the Village Board.
Several teachers from Margaret Meade School asked if the Board would be
making any decisions regarding the traffic surveys taken in the problem
area west of Route 53.
The President responded that the surveys did not, in effect, cause the
Board to consider altering their current posture or to continue with their
current posture, as the results were well divided throughout the
community. The survey is still being studied but is not conclusive. The
Board, at this point, appears to want to leave the status as is and pursue
the possibility of the extension of Biesterfield Road to Plum Grove Road.

Plum Grove Road.
